Xcaret is the Riviera Maya’s premier eco-archaeological park, offering a spectacular blend of Mexican culture, nature, and adventure. Located on the Caribbean coast, this massive park features underground rivers, a coral reef aquarium, a butterfly pavilion, and ancient Mayan ruins. The day culminates with the world-renowned "Xcaret México Espectacular" show, a journey through Mexico’s history with over 300 artists on stage.
Xcaret is a vast park with over 50 attractions, requiring a full day and a clear plan to navigate its diverse offerings.
| Opening Hours |
Daily from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM (after the night show). |
| Location |
Situated in the heart of the Riviera Maya, just 15 minutes south of Playa del Carmen. |
| Key Highlights |
The underground river swim, the Jaguar Island, the Rotating Scenic Tower, and the evening cultural performance. |
| Park Logistics |
Use the park's "color-coded" paths (black, white, green, etc.) to navigate between the jungle, the beach, and the cultural areas. |
| Pro Tip |
Bring your own water shoes and a change of clothes. If you plan to stay for the night show, having a private vehicle waiting for you is essential to avoid the chaotic crowds at closing time. |
Getting to Xcaret is easy, but getting back after a 14-hour day can be exhausting. Our private transportation provides a dedicated service that drops you at the main entrance and waits for your signal at the end of the night.
A smooth coastal drive directly to the park’s main gates, avoiding the multiple stops of hotel shuttle buses.
The quickest hop to the park. Ideal for families who want to arrive exactly when the gates open.
A direct northbound transfer that delivers you to the park refreshed and ready for adventure.
The ultimate mainland excursion for island guests. We coordinate your ferry arrival with a direct van to the park.
Xcaret is a unique destination that offers a more intimate and flexible experience when visited with a private transfer:
After the 10:00 PM show finishes, thousands of people rush for buses; your private driver will be waiting in a designated area for a quick, private departure.
Unlike shared shuttles with rigid schedules, you choose when to arrive and exactly when you’ve had enough fun.
Keep your dry clothes, souvenirs, and extra gear safely in the vehicle instead of renting multiple lockers throughout the day.
We take you directly to your hotel or villa without stopping at 10 other resorts, which is common in the park’s official transportation.
